Can I have a few drinks before?

We will not allow you to play if drunk or high on anything else. If you turn up and are intoxicated you will not be allowed to play and will not be refunded. It’s dark down there and at times disorientating. Being intoxicated on drink and/or drugs does not mix well with this environment.

What time should we arrive before we start?

Plan to arrive 5 minutes before to allow for any delays you may incur. Say you book for 6pm; our Event Manager will be there at 6pm ready to deliver the brief. We operate a slick operation and are strict on time keeping.

I’m running late, will you wait for me?

We’re very sorry but no. We have a timetable to stick to and if we over ran we’d then have to push back the next game. (If there’s no one booked in after then possibly). We cannot allow you to enter the experience mid way, as it would disrupt those already involved. No refunds will be offered for latecomers or No shows.

What should I wear?

Not your Sunday Best! Loose fitting, relaxed fit clothes would be best for ease of movement. It’s a bit grubby down there so you may get a bit of dust on you.

Can I take photos?

Not in the cells or during the escape game. To prevent the exposure of the experience to others yet to participate, we will not allow photographs to be taken. You will be required to hand in your mobile phone and all your other belongings at the starting brief.

There will be opportunity to take photos at the beginning and the end.

What happens if we don’t escape?

Luckily for you this is a simulated experience. When your time runs the event manager will let you out. Or will they…

You’re still alive, good for you – Maybe you’ll appreciate life a bit more now…

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Yes we do – If you want a refund or re-schedule you must request this before 4 weeks/28 days from your game date. Anything after that we can’t do sorry. You can transfer your tickets to others if you like though.
